Chapter 4: Accidents Happen

Zelina leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. She listened closely to the briefing. Several planets showed up on the screen, the man in front told them about each one. Soon enough Zelina would get another mission, and the prospect didn't excite her. She was tired of working for Frieza, tired of killing people in his name. But she had little choice in the matter. Zelina would rather be alive than dead. The screen flicked on to names. Zelina leaned foreword to see what her assignment was and if someone had been assigned to help her.

Vegeta-Planet Janaria

Naruk, Sacorn-Planet Yukor

Balite, Marcus, Dalierk-Planet Kursank

Zelina, Nappa-Planet Metronic

Zelina cursed. She didn't want to go on a mission with a Saiyan! Why did she have to? Yes her power level was a little higher then it had been before. She had been training hard. Usually the assignments were given to people with similar power levels. Her and Naruk always got the same assignments! Was she jealous, did she have feelings for Naruk?

They were dismissed, Zelina ran over to Naruk. "Hey, good luck." She said. "Don't get yourself killed."

Naruk smiled. "You try to stay alive as well." He said laughing. "No flirting with the Saiyan now."

"As if I would." Zelina said. "I would rather be going on a mission with you."

"Is that so?" Naruk said raising an eyebrow. He suddenly leaned over and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Zelina slapped him.

"Darn it woman!" Naruk protested. "I can never tell what you want!"

"I'm a complicated woman, so lets leave it at that." Zelina said turning her heel.

Naruk stared after her wide-eyed. He shook his head. "What the hell is wrong with her?" He mumbled.

"She's a woman, what do you expect?" A voice said. It was the man that Naruk was supposed to go to the Planet Yukor with.

"I vow to figure this woman out." Naruk said with a smile

Zelina looked out the window of her space pod. In another hour she would be on Metronic. She closed her eyes. She would take a little nap till then.

"Approaching planet Metronic." A computer voice announced. Zelina opened her eyes.

"You don't need to worry about helping me at all, I'm sure I can take care of this Planet myself." Nappa said through the scouter.

"For goodness sakes, do you think I'm any happier having to go on a mission with you!" Zelina snapped. "I'm going to help cleanse this planet as I was ordered to, I cannot fail Lord Frieza again!" If she failed again, she would be done for. Frieza would have no use for her anymore. Zelina gulped. It would not come down to that.

The space pod landed, and ended up making a huge crater on the ground. The space pod opened and Zelina stepped out. The sun was just beginning to set on the planet, the rays reflected off her scouter. She flew up in the air, and pushed the button on the side of her scouter. Power levels flashed on the screen. She made a face. There were only a few power levels barely over 1,000. Wait; there was one that was about 3,000. She grinned; perhaps she could have a worthwhile match after all.

Nappa and Zelina disposed of a few of the inhabitants right away, their scared big eyes looked at them in terror. Zelina didn't care about them; she wanted to fight one of their fighters. It was night by the time a worthwhile fighter showed up. But before Zelina could even try to fight him, Nappa blasted him. "Darn it Nappa, I wanted to take him on!" She protested.

"I don't really care what you want." He snapped.

Just then the clouds in the sky parted. Zelina looked up and frowned. A full moon shot its rays down upon the planet. She scurried out of Nappa's way, as his transformation was about to take place. Why the hell did Frieza put her on the same planet with the Saiyan when he knew full well there was a full moon there? Nappa transformed, his face pushed forward into a snout like shape. He grew, and hair sprouted up all around him. Zelina found herself hiding behind a rock. Saiyan's in their transformed state rarely could tell the difference between friend and foe. The giant ape started stomping on the inhabitants who screamed blood-curtailing screams.

All of a sudden the rock she was hiding behind shattered. A giant foot threatened to crush her. "Nappa stop!" She screamed. Then it hit her. Frieza had sent her there on purpose, hoping she would be killed in some accident. He hadn't planned on giving her a third chance.

Zelina scurried out of the way as the giant foot tried to stomp on her. But when she rolled out of the way a hand swiped her aside, and she went crashing into a rock formation. She tried to gasp for air, but couldn't. She slipped into unconsciousness.

When Nappa came to he was sitting on a pile of dead aliens. Where was that woman? Nappa thought to himself and scratched his baldhead. Then he remembered something about attacking her. "Ooops." He said to himself. He decided to go and look for her. Nappa found her lying on the ground. She wasn't moving and there was a pile of blood around her. He reached out to touch her. She felt cold. Nappa cursed. He rolled her over in her back. Her head flopped to her side. Zelina's beautiful black hair on her head was matted with blood. Her armor was torn down the front. Nappa put a big thumb against her neck feeling for a pulse. He felt a pulse, but it was a faint one. If he didn't get her to her space pod and hooked up to the life support system she would die. But then again, why did he care? Then again, it would only be fair if he helped her; she was a worthy fighter after all. He carefully picked her up and carried her to her space pod. The woman stirred and opened her eyes. "You…tired…to…kill…me." She slurred. She fainted again, and her head flopped into Nappa's shoulder. He placed her back in her space pod and hooked her up to the life support system. Before he closed the hatch, he looked at her. She looked so helpless, he almost felt sorry for her, almost. He punched the controls in for their destination and slammed the hatch shut. He then went to his space pod. He sat his huge body down and adjusted the controls. He wondered why in the world Frieza had sent her off on a mission with him. He had almost killed the woman.
